Football-Drill

Group work

The participants line up in several rows; front to the sports leader (distance between the participants to the front/back and to the side 2-3 metres).

The participants line up in several rows at a sufficient distance from each other, facing the exercise leader. The participants trot loosely in place. If the sports leader stretches an arm out to the side, the participants move sideways in the respective direction. If the sports leader stretches his arms forwards or places them on his chest, this causes the participants to move backwards or forwards. Various exercises (stretch jump, prone position, rapid skipping in place for a few seconds, sit down/stand up or others) are integrated by signals from the sports leader (e.g. 1-4 whistles). After an exercise, the participants trot in place again until the next arm signal from the instructor.

Variant I:
The participants perform the movements in the opposite direction to that indicated by the instructor. The sports leader can make the drill even more difficult by making incorrect movements (including exercises).
Variant II:
The participants line up in a circle around the sports leader and move in a circle around him (note: not suitable for more than 20 participants).

Sports director:
1 signal/hand whistle
